PENICILLIN

in #science7 years ago

Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming was cleaning his laboratory in 1928 when he noticed some mould on a baceria sample that he should have covered. He realise that the mould must have killed the bacteria. The mould contained a substance called penicillin. Ten years later, scientists managed to isolate it and produce it in large quantities. As a resault, doctors were able to use penicillina as an antibiotic to treat thousands of soldiers during the Second World War. Since then, penicillin has saved millions of lives.

                                 ITALIAN VERSION

Il batteriologo scozzese Alexander Fleming stava pulendo il suo laboratorio nel 1928 quando notò un pò di muffa su un campione di batteri che avrebbe dovuto coprire. Capisce che lo stampo deve aver ucciso i batteri. Lo stampo conteneva una sostanza chiamata penicillina. Dieci anni dopo, gli scienziati riuscirono a isolarli e a produrlo in grandi quantità. Come risultato, i medici sono stati in grado di utilizzare la penicillina come antibiotico per curare migliaia di soldati durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Da allora, la penicillina ha salvato milioni di vite.
